While the $200,000 the department received Tuesday is a start, Worley says there’s still a lot more money the department needs. But he’s confident the county will get it to them one way or another.

“Hopefully in the budget process for next year, we’ll be able to find some additional funds,” Worley said.

City of Myrtle Beach spokesperson Mark Kruea said the city is not worried about the fact that they won’t be getting the $200,000 from the county was that originally set aside for them.

Kruea said $200,000 isn’t a lot of money in comparison to the library project as a whole anyway.

Worley also added that the money was the county’s to do what they wanted with.

“It was not necessarily taken away from [the city],” Worley said. “It was just some monies that we had set aside for the 21st Avenue building, which is a county building. It’s not a Myrtle Beach city building. It’s a county building in Myrtle Beach.”
